We have been planning our home renovation for a while now, and I absolutely can't wait to get started sometime in the very near future. I have 100s of ideas in my head, both from Pinterest and magazines, but now that we're in the planning stage, I was starting to get idea overload. So, I decided to add to my binder collection (read about our family household and finance binder) and make a 'house inspiration' binder.
I am so excited to have nearly finished our family command centre, which I will sharing on The Organised You TV this Friday. I always planned to incorporate a cork board, but I wanted to cover it with a nice fabric to make it stand out. Cork boards are a fantastic addition to a command centre, home office or even a kids' bedroom to display artwork (like I did with my son's art pieces).
I'm popping in today with a quick post on how I sorted our home office drawers and cupboards. One of my goals for Jan-Feb was to get the office organised so that I can start working from there rather than at the kitchen table. I am itching to get started on repainting the walls, adding some open shelving, a filing cabinet and more storage. But before I get to pick up the paint-brush, I needed to get the office supplies decluttered and organised, which actually turned out to be a pretty quick job. Here's a look at how I did it...
Thanks to the wonderful feedback I received when I last shared a client space (this beautiful sewing room), I thought I would make this a regular feature on the blog so you can see exactly what a personal organiser does. Today's makeover is a home office space. I'll show you how we decluttered and organised 2 rooms and set up some workable systems to deal with the paper clutter.
A recent client of mine asked me to help organise her home office, where she and her husband run their 2 businesses (I will share 'part 1' of this on Thursday). They have a lot of paperwork and needed systems for keeping the paper clutter at bay. When putting the plan for the space together, I researched lots of different organising methods, as I know paperwork is a real nightmare for a lot of people. Here are some ideas you might find helpful:
Do you have a garden shed? We have recently put one up in our garden, and it has created loads more storage space in our garage, plus provides an easily accessible place to keep all our gardening essentials. In today's video, I'm showing you how we organised our garden shed, utilising every inch of this small space as an effective storage system.
